The Pearl of Peace.

 A bivalve feeding in the warm salt sea Draws inward with tho wave . sandy grain,
 Which, not returning with tho wave again, Remains henceforth its secret grief to be Day after day, the sea- wise folk agree, The creature hides it in dew-like rain Of ceaseless tears, till, hardened out of pain, A precious Iearl is fashioned perfectly. From outer seas of passion, seas ofstrife, There drifts at times upon the human heart
 A secret ranking grief that day by day We cover with the bitter tears of life, Till wrought of pain, from out our nobler part The pearl of peace remains with us always.

Convulsions in Children.

Convulsions are very alarming to per- sons who are not accustomed to them. They are rarely fatal, and with an adult the principal thing to be done is to prevent the sufferer from hurting him self. Any smooth object can be put between the teeth to avoid the tongue being bitten. The handle of tooth brush or of spoon, paper-knifc, ol anything of like nature that is al hand. The clothes should be un- fastened, particularly any bands confn. ing the waist, and the sufferer laid down. If the hands are thrown abou, they should be held. When the fit is over the person must be put to bed and kept quiet for time. Babies sometimes have convulsions when teeth ing or from somc Arrangement of the digestion. If the fit lasts for more than a moment the child should be undressed, wrapped in blanket and put in a warm bath to relax tho muscles, the head being covered with cloth wrung out of water. The doctor will lance the swollen gums or prescribe Q course of diet which will prevent a recurrence of the attack. It is generally not as alarming as it seems to the mother, but a physician should be consulted to dis cover and, if possible, remove the cause. -[ Good Housekeeping.

THE EDITORS CALLING.

An editors life is not always a
happy one, but he is generally salts
fed with it, whatever it is. 1t is his
calling, and if he be a true journalist
he 10 welded to it tor life. He is not
a Bohemian, vagabond, who edits a
paper to-day, may be drunk to-mor-
row, or who preached last year. lie
does not descend TO the depths of
personal abuse or slanderous inuen-
do, although he has to submit to a
good deal of this kind OF mudhinginc
in silence. His manhood and his
gentillty will not allow him to 20
down into the dirt after weapons for
such antagonists He also has to
submit to good deal of misunder-
standing and sharp criticism from his
own friends. This he stands with
utmost good humor and with perfect
patience,
An editor is no more than a man.
lie is full of faults and they show in
his errors of judgment and his mis-
taken opinions. He is making mis-
takes every day, and is anything but
infalible. He is however, always
honest, and when he wounds anybody
it is not intentional. lie often hurts
peoples feelings, but frequently they
deserve the criticism which causes
them TO cry out. People ought to
reflect that an editor has as much
feeling as the rest of humanity.
One thing an editor is not. He is
never selfish. He is in the business
because he owes ", and nearly always
for the benefit Of others. A true
editor never mixes in politics and
never runs for office. That is, he
never runs but once. Henry Wat
terson, the greatest editor in the
Union, went to Congress one term,
and that satisfied him. lie repented
at once, and has been not only the
best editor but the best friend Of
editors in the land ever since. When
recently asked to run for the U. S.
Senate he wrote Characteristic re-
ply, in which he said
II am and have been all my life a
journalist, and working journalist
equal to the duties which yield me
sufficiency, happy in my associates
and proud of any calling. set it
neither above nor below that Of other
men. 1t is simply like the choice Of
the swain in the immortal pastoral,
"mine own" As such, for good or
i'll, | shall abide by it to the end"

THE BIBLE.

NO fragment OF any army ever sur
vived so many battles as the Bible;
no citadel ever withstood so many
sieges; no rocks we're ever battered
by so many hurricanes and so swept
by storms. And yet it stands. II has
seen the rise and fall of Daniels four
empires. Assyria bequeathes a few
INITIATED figures to the riches Of our
national museum. Media and Persia.
like Babylon which they conquered,
have been weighed in the balance.
and long been found wanting. Greece
